What is Orate?
Orate is an AI toolkit that focuses on speech generation and transcription, aiming to simplify the process of handling voice content for developers. It integrates speech technologies from several well-known AI providers (e.g. OpenAI, ElevenLabs, AssemblyAI) through a unified API interface, enabling users to realize high-quality Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) functionality without having to interface with different platforms separately.
core functionality
- Text-to-speech (TTS): Supports generation of realistic, multi-lingual speech output, with the flexibility to choose speech models from different providers.
- Speech to text (STT): Converts audio content to text with high accuracy for scenarios such as meeting recording and subtitle generation.
- Multi-Service Integration: Allow developers to switch AI providers on demand (e.g., ElevenLabs for multilingual models or AssemblyAI for transcription models).
- Unified API design: You only need to learn one set of interfaces to call different services, which greatly reduces development complexity.
In addition, Orate provides quick installation (npm/yarn support), clear documentation and sample code to help users efficiently land their speech processing needs.
